Hunan Chilli King San Gabriel Valley Los Angeles

Hunan Chilli King

The first (and only) rule of a spicy restaurant is to avoid drinking water. You’ll help the California drought with this trick, but you’ll most of all help yourself and your tastebuds. Hunanese cuisine is famous for being the spiciest...
Truffle potatoes Crossroads West Hollywood

Crossroads

You may have heard about Crossroads because of their beautiful book shown in the best bookstores. Or maybe was it thanks to a vegan friend who tagged you on an Instagram picture of vegan cheese that looked like the real...
Malibu Farm Malibu Los Angeles

Malibu Farm

It’s not a restaurant, it’s a postcard. A white wooden hut nestled at the end of a pontoon, floating above the Pacific Ocean on the Malibu beach. We can already spot seagulls, waves and surfers in the distance… and a...
Musso and Franck Hollywood Los Angeles

Musso & Frank

Musso & Frank is a time machine. Red-leather banquettes, bow-tied waiters, and the radiocarbon-dated decor all have the musty charm of the old relative you love to see every Christmas Eve. Opened in 1919 by Joseph Musso and Frank Toulet,...
In-N-Out Hollywood Los Angeles

Speranza Silverlake Los Angeles

Speranza

For some people, Speranza doesn’t exist. It’s a small undercover restaurant, hidden on Hyperion Avenue behind plastic tarps. There is almost no review of the place, no restaurant website nor social media accounts — even though it has existed for...
Jitlada Thai Town Los Angeles

Jitlada

Why should you wait 45 minutes to get a table at a Thai restaurant? Why is there a herd of hungry hipsters lined up like toy soldiers on a strip mall? Why are the walls of Jitlada covered with awards,...
Soban Koreatown Los Angeles

Soban

When you enter a Koreatown restaurant and you see David Chang, the food gods are in your favor. And if the Momofuku chef is dining with editor in chief of Lucky Peach, we feel obliged to write a review on...
Gjelina Venice Los Angeles

Gjelina

Everything has already been written about Gjelina. The delicacy of their mozzarella and orange-tinted cherry tomatoes pizza, its refined decor, the necessity to book ahead in order to avoid the line on a Saturday lunch, their gnocchi with brown butter...
